all ur fave tropes IN SPACE
- coffeeshop au In Space – set at a coffeeshop in a space station, lots of interesting people coming and going along with the regulars who live/work at the station. OR set on a space ship, providing for the crew as they travel
- mr & mrs smith au In Space – spies operating in different star systems didn’t realize they were married!
- enclosed in a tight space In Space – after some catastrophe, ur faves have to get off the ship but there’s only one escape pod left! they have to squeeze in together!
- huddling together for warmth In Space – environmental controls are failing and we need to share body heat. alternatively, the cooling systems have failed and now the power systems are cooking us, it’s getting so hot in here take off all ur clothes
- fake dating/married In Space – this mission is long-term so they only wanted couples and we both want to go, so want to use the buddy system?

I understand that a lot of people enjoy writing shipfics where they transplant characters into a college setting. Since some writers may not be in college, or may have graduated a long time ago, I thought I’d offer a helpful list of realistic college meet not-so-cute scenarios. Forget baristas.
